But I have also heard (and would like verification as well) that the next version of windoze will NOT work with javascript vis a vis the ongoing feud between Sun (which owns the js stuff afaik) and Microsoft. That should make for some smooth web browsing with IE indeed...think about all of the sites using javascript. jeff
